Eric Axley followed his opening, three-eagle 67 at the RBC Canadian Open with a bogey-free 4-under-par 34-34=68 to post 9-under 135 at the midpoint, five strokes back of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Despite his fireworks on Thursday, this may have been better golf today. After all, he striped only six (of 14) fairways and missed seven greens in regulation but escaped with a spotless scorecard. Axley's greatest test to keep it clean came at the par-4 ninth where he holed out for par from off the green nine yards away. His longest of four birdies traveled 27'7" at the par-3 12th.

Eric Axley converted three eagles en route to a 5-under-par 33-34=67 in today's opening round of the RBC Canadian Open.

Axley went out in the second threesome off the 10th tee at Glen Abbey Golf Club today and hit 12 greens in regulation. After six pars to start, he knocked in his first eagle from only 37 inches at the par-5 16th hole. The second eagle-3 disappeared from 37'5" at the par-5 18th. The lefty then double-bogeyed the par-4 first, but bounced back with a birdie from 13'9" at the par-5 second. He chased that with the shot of the day at the par-4 third. After striping his drive 327 yards into the fairway, Axley jarred his approach from 117 yards for the third eagle. He parred in, including a save from 11'3" at the par-3 seventh. He was the clubhouse leader at the time he signed his card but didn't sit atop the leaderboard. The 41-year-old is the first on the PGA TOUR this season with three eagles in one round. The last to achieve the feat was John Huh at Torrey Pines North in the first round of the 2012 Farmers Insurance Open. Jul 23 - 11:59 AM
